Divergent Academy

31. Tensions!

Recap: But little did we know....

(Let's start)

What was to happen next.

A series of gunshots cut through the silence and several loud thuds were heard. Tobias/Four let go of my hand and turned his body towards me. "Tris! I'm sorry you had to see this but ...... I'll explain everything to you later. But for now please be safe. Take Mom, Dad, Will and the girls along with the maids and hide in the basement. Please. You do not want to see this."

My heart said "no" but with the look in his eyes, I had to nod. His eyes were swirling with pain, fear and anger. And what I hope was also love.

His face relaxed for a second and he mustered a small smile. I smiled back, first unsure but then a real one.

"Oh! And Beatrice, call me Tobias please. Sorry for hiding it from you but..... Yeah....."
I giggled when I heard him pronounce my name. It came out as a "ByaThriçs".

He smirked that adorable smirk of his and then pulled me into his arms for a very brief moment of bliss. When he let go he took a hold of my shoulders again and said, "And remember Tris, I love you."

I smiled up at him and repeated it in a trance, "I love you too Tobias."

He smiled but then a gun shot cut through the silence and Tobias' face looked anxious again.

"Go! Go! Go!" He shouted and with that he took off towards the noises and disorder, Uriah and Zeke hot on his heels. A pair of rough arms tugged at my arms and I looked around to see Max pulling me with him towards the basement.

I shouted behind me for my friends to follow.

Christina and Will heard me and they started pulling at Shauna and Marlene's arms because they were balling their eyes out for the Pedrad brothers..... Lynn and Lauren helped them and by the time we reached the basement and dumped both of them, they crawled to one corner and started crying. Chris and Lauren went to them to comfort them while Will and Lynn went out to help the maids get some provisions.

Max was breathing heavily for a while before he ran towards the opposite side of the wall and pulled at a door knob. The door opened revealing a computer screen with the CCTV camera images in grids.

I looked towards the door and saw the maids, Lynn and Will reveal themselves.
"We got everyone." Will said pointing behind him.

I looked over his shoulders at Reevan carrying Martha in his arms and Nicole glaring from behind, at Reevan's head. I ran towards the bunk beds in the basement which I had just noticed and pulled at the cover, revealing a cleaner bedspread below.

Reevan quickly but her down on the bed, gently and squatted down beside the bed, running his fingers through her hair, caressing it. Nicole let out a "humph" sound and sat down on the bed.

Behind me I heard Max's voice call out, "Tris! Come here."

I turned away from the scene and ran across the room. Max was pointing at the screen. "Your parents are here."

With that the blood in my veins and arteries froze.

Four's POV (A/N: surprise!!!!!)

I ran out of the house towards the gun shots with the Pedrad brothers hot on my heel.

I burst out of the front door to see Jeanine on the floor with dark red stain on the front of her blouse. By the look on her face, she was dead. I scowled down at her more-than-normally-pale pale face. Then I turned away for her body and went towards where I could see my father standing in the front lawn on the other side of the big glass window.

By the time I reached the lawn, Uriah and Zeke had already taken out their guns and started firing at the black suited gang members. My father's gang members.

I looked out towards the beach and saw a couple looking much like Tris and Caleb. They had their guns drawn out and the ROYAL Army seemed to be with them. Confused I let it go for the time being and looked for my father.

He was hiding behind a bush, shooting at anybody and everybody from the ROYAL Forces. I creeped up behind him and loaded my gun.

He must have heard it because his head was suddenly turning and his eyes were burning into my cornea moments later.

I smirked at his momentary hesitation and fired. The shot went straight through his chest, the force of the bullet causing him to fall backwards. He was sprawled on the ground, blood oozing out of the hole in his shirt. "Die! This is for your own good."

The words I spoke seemed to have clicked some where in his brain. As his eyelids started to flutter shut he spoke his last words, " I love you son. Sorry...... For..... For everything."

With that his body became still and blood started to come out of his nose and mouth. I looked away from the corpse and turned towards the ROYAL Forces. But they were no longer fighting. It seemed that the gang members had suddenly given up fighting and were scrambling away.

I looked at my fathers body again and saw that his wrist watch was blinking. I squatted down and took a look at it. The simple look of it seemed to have reminded me of a memory. A memory of him explaining the use of it.

" This watch has a sensor. If you die in battle or some attack, the watch sends messages to your colleagues to desert the mission otherwise they will all be caught and it will be a mayhem. So always use this okay?"
He had said before he had placed the watch in my palm at the age of 8.
I looked up at his evil eyes and swallowed. "Thank you father."
He grinned and patted my back, "someday you would be just like me." Before walking away.

The situation then made a lot more sense to me now. I took off the watch and pressed it to my wrist so that it could feel my pulse. Just as I had expected, every single gang member had stopped on his or her track. They looked around for Marcus but before they could realize anything a series of gunshots sounded and then silence. The gang members had all died.

The ROYAL Forces ran into the lawn and surrounded all the lying corpses. I let the watch slip out of my hands and I came out into the front lawn. Seeing me Uriah and Zeke also came out from their hiding places.

"Hey Natalie! Hey Andrew! This is Tobias. Your daughter's boyfriend." Uriah said chirpily.

(A/N: hey guys! Not proof read!
As you all might have realized, the story is coming to an end. Maybe one or two more chapters + epilogue.

The ending might seem too quick. Yeah I know. Actually the tension to finish this book led me to take a break from writing in wattpad for about 2 months. Now the tension is all gone. I have figured out how to end it.

Also I have to prepare for my sixth form entrance exam. Though one year is left till I pass out of my sophomore year, the content is hard.

Some of you might feel weirded out that I'm in sophomore year of high school and giving sixth form? Isn't that clashing of American and British systems?

Well yes it is. Our system is like that. It's a mixture. So our school is a high school but after sophomore year we need to select the stream we want to study for the rest of our life and build a career on. So it's the called the sixth form entrance exams. Get it?

Sorry for the rant. Gtg. Bye 😀😀😀😀
